Hi Struggler, Yeah, I hear you and feel for you. Here is an idea, what about attending the AGM by telephone conference? We recently had an Owner attend an EC Meeting by telephone as he was OS and there was an issue being discussed regarding his property. Though I am not sure of the legalities of this and if the fact you have a proxy attending means you can not attend in any way. Perhaps you have already considered and have a much better understanding of 'the rules' than I do? If not I hope this helps.
Cheers,
CBF
